Program Overview
Radiographers operate x-ray equipment to create images of tissues, bones, organs, and blood vessels within the human body. The images created by the radiographer are then interpreted and a diagnosis is made by a radiologist, a physician who specializes in interpreting and diagnosing radiographic images.
Clinical courses, begin in the first semester, complement classroom learning, and help students prepare for entry-level practice. Clinical experience includes rotations in community hospitals, medical centers, and healthcare facilities, allowing students to develop clinical skills in a wide variety of healthcare settings that meet the needs of diverse populations.
